FIR Quashed - Petitioners Not Relatives Under Section 85 BNS Act | Calcutta HC
The Calcutta High Court dismissed the FIR, ruling that the accused cannot be charged under Section 85 of the BNS Act because they are neither the husband nor a blood, marital or adoptive relative of the complainant’s husband. This narrows liability under the Act to immediate family members.
